#and stuff like the Isaiah Bradley plotline was actually explored really well

[keep-ur-head-low]

If the second episode of the Loki series had addressed climate change the same way the finale of Falcon and The Winter Soldier addressed racism and radicalization, then we would have gotten a preachy monologue that drags on for way too long about how climate change will destroy the earth and how we gotta do better. Instead, it was smoothly integrated into the show’s concept of apocalypses in a way that was cool, essential while not bulldozing over the main plot, and legitimately shocking in that it actually made me think “woah could a single storm actually wipe out the state of Alabama in thirty years’ time?” Now, I don’t know if it could, but the fact that it makes me genuinely want to look into it is certainly better than me thinking “jesus christ we get it you’re black Captain America you don’t need to remind us”

#I'm not saying FATWS shouldn't have addressed what it meant for a black man to be Captain America #in fact that was one of the things I was most excited for #and stuff like the Isaiah Bradley plotline was actually explored really well #but simply seeing the words Alabama 2050 in front of a horrific hurricane hit surprisingly hard #falcon and the winter soldier #tfatws #loki #loki show #marvel #mcu #loki spoilers #series
